In this paper, we design a digital predistortion(DPD) for linearity enhancement of RF power amplifier operating in 900 MHz band. We verify improvement of linearity by comparing the proposed DPD using tanh as a nonlinear indexing function and the DPD using linear indexing function based on signal amplitude. The digital predistortion is realized by look-up table(LUT) method, and the Saleh model is employed for power amplifier modeling, then a commercial power amplifier module is used for measurement. The LUT has 256 tables, and the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm was utilized for an adaptive algorithm for estimation. As a result, we improve the ACLR(Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio) by around 15 dB.

A GaAs MESFET MMIC transmitter for 2.4 GHz wireless local loop handset is designed and fabricated. The transmitter consists of a double balanced active mixer and a two stage driver amplifier with voltage negative feedback. In particular, a pair of CS-CG(common source-common gate) structure compensates the reduction in dynamic range caused by unbalanced complementary IF input signals. And to suppress the leakage local power at RF port, the mixer is designed by using phase characteristic between the ports of MESFET. At the bias condition of 2.7 V and 55.2 mA, the fabricated MMIC transmitter with chip dimensions of $0.75\times1.75 mm^2$ obtains a measured conversion gain of 38.6 dB, output $P_{idB}$ of 11.6 dBm, and IMD3 at -5 dBm RF output power of -31.3 dBc. This transmitter is well suited for WLL handset.

X-ray detector는 의료용, 산업용 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되어지고 있으며 기존의 Analog X-ray 방식의 환경오염, 저장공간 부족, 실시간 분석의 어려움 등의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 Digital X-ray로의 전환과 연구가 활발하며 이에 따른 관심도 높아지고 있는 살점이다. Digital X-ray detector는 p-영역과 n-영역 사이에 아무런 불순물을 도핑하지 않은 진성반도체(intrinsic semiconductor) 층을 접합시킨 이종접합 PIN 구조의 photodiode 이다. 이 소자는 역바이어스를 가해주면 p영역과 n영역 사이에서 캐리어 (carrier)가 존재하지 않는 공핍 영역이 발생하게 된다. 이런 공핍 영역에서 광흡수가 일어나면, 전자-정공 쌍이 발생한다. 그리고, 발생한 전자-정공 쌍에 전압이 역방향으로 인가되는 경우, 전자는 양의 전극으로 이동하고, 정공은 음의 전극으로 이동한다. 이와 같이, 발생한 캐리어들을 검출하여 전기적인 신호로 변환 시킨다. 고해상도의 Digital X-ray detector를 만들기 위해서는 누설전류에 의한 noise 감소와 소자의 높은 안정성과 내구성을 위한 높은 breakdown voltage를 가져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Digital X-ray detector의 leakage current 감소와 breakdown voltage를 높이기 위하여 guradring과 gettering technology를 사용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 기판으로는 $10k\Omega{\cdot}cm$ resistivity를 갖으며, n-type <111>인 1mm 두께의 4인치 Si wafer를 사용하였다. 그리고 pixel pitch는 $100{\mu}m$이며 active area는 $80{\mu}m{\times}80{\mu}m$인 $32\times32$ array를 형성하여 X-ray를 조사하여 소자의 특성을 평가 하였다.

Optical current sensor and optical voltage sensor modules were designed and fabricated to improve measurement error and insulation in automatic power distributor By using Faraday effect, optical current sensor with an $\alpha$-iron core was designed and fabricated to minimize current induction of the other phase and was optimized to maintain linearity. Optical voltage sensor was fabricated owing to the pockets effect and adopted spatial electric field type because of small room in an automatic power distributor. To connect a distributor with an external terminal for signal processing, optical multi connector was designed, fabricated and tested for coupling loss and gas leakage. The linearity of optical current sensor for applied current maintains variation of smaller than 2.5% for applied current range from 20A to 700A. The linearity of optical voltage sensor was smaller than 1% for appling voltage from 6.6kV to 19.8kV. Since the measured characteristics are good, these devices can be considered as being applicable in practice.

In this paper, we present a noise analysis and measurement results of a bio-radar system that can detect human heartbeat and respiration signals. The noise analysis including various phase noise effects is very important in designing the bio-radar system, since the frequency difference between the received signal and local oscillator is very small and the received power is very low. All of the noise components in a bio-radar system are considered from the point of view of SNR. From this analysis, it can be concluded that the phase noise due to antenna leakage is a dominant factor and is a function of range correlation. Therefore, the phase noise component with range correlation effect, which is the most important noise contribution, is measured using the measurement setup and compared with the calculated results. From the measurement results, our measurement setup can measure a closed-in phase noise of a free-running oscillator. Based on these results, it is possible to design a 2.4 GHz bio-radar system quantitatively which has a detection range of 50 cm and low power of 1 mW without additional PLL circuits.

A steam generator in nuclear power plant is a heatexchager which is used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core, and the steam produced in steam generator is delivered to the turbine to generate electricity. Because of damage to steam generator tubing may impair its ability to adequately perform required safety functions in terms of both structural integrity and leakage integrity, eddy current testing is periodically performed to evaluate the integrity of tubes in steam generator. This assessment is normally performed during a reactor refueling outage. Currently, the eddy current testing for steam generator of nuclear power plant in Korea is performed in accordance with KEPIC & ASME Code requirements, the eddy current testing system is consists of remote data acquisition unit and data analysis program to evaluate the acquired data.

Wire ropes are used in a myriad of various industrial applications such as elevator, mine hoist, construction machinery, lift, and suspension bridge. Especially, the wire rope of crane is important component to container transfer. If it happens wire rope failures during the operation, it may lead to safety accident, economic loss by productivity decline and so on. To solve this problem, we developed remote wire rope fault detecting system, and this system is consisted of 3 parts that portable fault detecting part, signal processing part and remote monitoring part. All detected signal has external noise or disturbance according to circumstances. So, we applied to discrete wavelet transform to extract a signal from noisy data. It is verified that the detecting system by de-noising has good efficiency for inspecting faults of wire ropes in service. As a result, by developing this system, container terminal could reduce expense because of extension fo wire ropes exchange period and could competitive power. Also, this system is possible to apply in several field such as elevator, lift and so on.
